Friday 24th November –3:16am

Mark's POV:

I awoke to a sharp kick in my ribs.

"He-EY!"I wheezed, rolling over on the concrete with my eyes failing to focus."What the frick-!?"

"Shut the fuck up."Anti snapped, lugging me up before I could say anything else. I didn't even have time to question him before he shoved me forward in the dark. My body smacked the iron poles.

What a way to wake up.

"Move,move!"Anti hissed. I regained my balance against the bars, rubbing my tired eyes as I tried to see anything. Anti was quick to push me out of the cell, and before I could fall over I crashed into another person. I blinked as they clung to me in order to stay upright.

Whata way to wake up.

"What're you-?"

"I said, shut the fuck up!"Anti barked.

The smaller person released their grip on my arm as the lights flickered on.

I squinted. I'd only just woken up and was unprepared for all of this,but the one thing I hadn't expected to see was the person stood beside me.

"Jack?"

Jack was as blinded and dazed as I was, his arms folded over his chest –almost as though he was hugging himself. The hoodie he'd once been wearing was half of what it once was, the sleeves ripped off so that the dark fabric could be used as bandages for the wounds on his arms. The Irishman was paler than I remembered him being, shivering with dark circles under his eyes.

The same eyes that used to hold such hope and joy.

"Mark, I don't know what the fock is goin' on, but-"

"This reunion is real 'touching' and all that emotional garbage-"Anti mocked, pacing to the door and peeking out left and right. "-but you two morons need to go, right fucking now!"

Jack and I exchanged a glance, confirming in the silence that both of us were sceptical in an instant. I stepped between Jack and Anti.

"Just like that?" I questioned. Anti let out a huff.

"Oh, for fuck's sake!" He cursed, coming away from the door and marching up to me. I'd never seen the man so on edge. "You both wanted to escape before, did that change or something? Huh? Do you somehow like it here now?"Anti mocked.

"That's not what I-"

"You'll never get a chance like this again."Anti insisted, his voice a low growl. "If you stay now, you're staying forever."

I thought, wondering what the outcome of all this could possibly lead us to. Out of all the torture and drugging, all at once we got an opportunity like this?

And yet I couldn't shake the feeling that this was wrong.

"You have no reason to help us." Jack stated from behind me, and I kept up a firm stance despite the ache in my muscles. "A few days ago you were torturing us, now ya wanna let us go?"

Anti let out an annoyed sigh, and I could see him choosing his words.

"Look - Darkiplier thinks I'm his bitch, giving me stupid ass orders all the fucking time. Well, he said 'keep the subjects locked up'-"Anti used air quotes as he said this. "-so now I'm doing the opposite."

Anti's eyes met my own, yet it was like gazing into empty sockets. There were no emotions to read.

Just nothingness.

I took a step back, instead turning to face Jack. There was no way to be certain of anything in that situation.

"Jack, what're we doing here?" I questioned in a low whisper.

Jack shifted in his stance, uncomfortable, and I couldn't blame him. This was Anti – the man that had electrocuted us and filmed it, the man that carved up Jack's arms and possessed him. The thought of putting any trust in him sent alarm bells into a frenzy in my head.

And yet, what was the alternative?

Jack let out a heavy sigh. One that told me he was just about as tired of everything as I was.

"I don't think there's much of a choice here Mark." Jack admitted, not meeting my gaze. "I think... I think this is the only choice we got."

"Traumatic footage surfaced online last night of the missing YouTubers 'JackSepticEye' and 'Markiplier' – the video in question depicting the pair tied up and given electric shocks by their captor. It was uploaded at around midday to both of their accounts at the exact same time, the torture seeming to last hours as shown by the length of the video.
Police have been unable to obtain more evidence from this video so far, though now know for a fact that Fischbach and McLoughlin were taken by the same person. The footage is still being investigated.
It is unclear why the two have been taken, but riled up fans have been posting thousands of hateful messages on the video in hopes that their captor will feel any kind of remorse for their crimes.
However it is feared that the YouTubers may not have too much longer."

Anti's POV:

I chuckled to myself, entering my room and booting up the computer to check on my little 'project'.

PixlPit:Whoever you are, those two are human beings – they both have loving friends and family you're torturing too, and they are more than just personalities that live on the internet. Give them their lives back and see that nobody deserves this. Please.

PewDiePie: what you're doing to my friends is fucked up and unforgivable and if I find you it won't be pretty

LordMinion777: Mark has been my close friend for years, and I've known Jack for long enough to call him a good friend of mine too – so I can say without a shadow of a that they are both the last people to deserve this. Nobody deserves this. What the hell is wrong with you?

I cackled in sheer glee, wiping the tears from my eyes. Yet I knew I didn't have long to do what I needed to.

"That's right, just keep watching... that's all I could ever ask!"
